VI. CONCLUSIONS

The main aim of the present investigation was to study the strength and durability properties of ordinary and high strength concrete with the partial replacement of fine aggregate with granite powder with different percentages such as 0%,10%,20%,30%,40%and 50%.

B. Ordinary concrete

1) The maximum slump value is obtained at 30% replacement granite fines with replacement of fine aggregate. Further increases in percentage granite fines there is decrease in slump value.

2) The compressive strength is increased by 27.19% for 28 days curing with the use of 30 % replacement of fine aggregate with granite fines. Further increases in percentage there is decreases in strength but that value is greater than conventional concrete up to 40%replacement by using water cement ratio 0.50.

3) The split tensile strength is increased by 28.57% for 28 days curing with the use of 30 % replacement of granite fines in comparison to the strength of nominal concrete mix of without granite fines. Further increases in percentage there is decreases in strength but that value is greater than conventional concrete up to 40% replacement.

4) Based on the results the replacement of fine aggregate with granite fines up to 40%.But maximum strength is obtained at 30% replacement of granite fines.
